Description

Savory and slightly spicy chicken skewers marinated with ginger, garlic, and gochujang, perfect for grilling.


Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp gochujang
  • Chopped green onions (optional garnish)


Instructions

  1. Cut chicken into 1 1/2 inch cubes and toss in a bowl.
  2. Whisk together remaining ingredients (except chopped green onions) to create the marinade.
  3. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken and mix to coat thoroughly.
  4. Cover and place in the fridge to marinate for at least 240 minutes (or up to overnight).
  5. Cover the remaining sauce and put it in the fridge for later basting.
  6. Thread the chicken onto skewers when marinating is complete.
  7. Preheat the grill to medium heat.
  8. Place skewers on a lightly oiled grill once hot.
  9. Turn the skewers every 3-4 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, approximately 20-30 minutes. Baste with the remaining marinade during the last few turns.
  10. Remove skewers from the grill and serve with chopped green onions, if desired.

Notes

Consider adding vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms to the skewers for a balanced meal.
